is it over heating, engines loose power when they overheat.

most likely the drive cup holders are too far away from the transmission (center diff). you may have to loosen the grub screws and push them in twards the transmission to take up some of that slack.

Status: online 		richen it up a little then, that os you have should run at 235 and have plenty of power. i just put one in my rs4 mt yesterday, got 6 tanks in it, ready to start tuning. I have like 5 of those .18 cvrx's. this was the hardest swap yet, had to redrill the engine mount holes but it worked out great.

Status: online 		you need to richen (turn counter clockwise) the tuning needles to richen the mix, do the big one first, like a 1/2 turn, that will keep you cooler and probably stop it from quitting too. I dont know who or where in england you can get the parts, ask 123mike.
